Introduction

Welcome, this is rpmwand project.

`rpmwand' helps your rpm building work. In most cases, rpm spec file is too complicated to build a rpm package which contains only a few files. But with rpmwand, you can make a sample rpm by just two steps, and with the sample package, your whole rpm building work can be easily set up.

Details

Who needs this program

• Shell script maintainers.
• Rpm builder who just has a few script files and wish to make them to be shipped in rpm package.
• Rpm builder who doesn't require any compile steps in building the package.
• Virtual package builder for rpm dependencies which are used to set up a new machine.

How to use

Let's assume you are building named "ganghee" package.

Step 1

rpmwand init ganghee

In this step, package environments are prepared for ganghee rpm. you can check

• ganghee.spec.in
• ganghee-skel
• ganghee-files.txt

Step 2

rpmwand build ganghee 1.0.0 1

You can build ganghee-1.0.0-1.noarch.rpm with above command. Isn't it simple?

Step 3

Place your own files into ganghee-skel directory which is faked root directory.

rpmwand files ganghee

And this command updates ganghee-files.txt from ganghee-skel directory. and again,

rpmwand build ganghee 1.0.0 2

Now, you can get ganghee-1.0.0-2.noarch.rpm file.
